Subsequently, one may also ask, can I start garlic in pots? Garlic needs a few weeks of good hard cold, frosty, snowy weather to bulb and grow properly so you must get them sowed into pots or directly into the plot in October / November and then as early as possible planted out in the plot if you have them in pots.Can you plant garlic cloves from the grocery store?Although it’s best to plant garlic from bulbs specifically grown as seed stock, you can also grow usable bulbs from some grocery store garlic. The garlic found in grocery stores may not feature the high quality or disease resistance of seed garlic, but it will usually sprout and produce bulbs.
